    SVC Service Host Using over 1TB of Internet Data in less than 2 weeks?


    I've been getting data usage alerts from my ISP, which I have never even come close to hitting my monthly data limit of 1.2TB. I've installed network data usage monitoring software and I'm showing that Service Host: Network Service appears to be the culprit.


    Upon checking my data usage on Windows, I'm shown that System has used 1102GB of data since Dec 1st. What is causing Windows to use ALL of my internet data in 3 weeks???

    It also appears that Windows has been "stuck" trying to download a Windows update. Has it been trying to constantly download this update for 3 weeks, using all of my internet data to do so?

    ServiceHost UniStack Service Group - ???Services: 1122a6 & are they related to Update Failures?

    I'm running a 2 year old Acer Aspire ZC-700G. Preinstalled with Windows 10 (current v1607 & still trying to upgrade...)

    OS Build: 14393.1198 & 64-Bit OS X64-based processor.

    I have a confusing, 2ish part question/issue:

    1st: My system runs real high on the "Service Host" applications too.

    But, recently, it's mega increased and 4 of them are from something ending in "1122a6".

    When I look online there is absolutely Nothing on them, which has me concerned.

    2) I've been fighting for nearly a full month trying to get my system to stop cycling through (and failing) continuously.

    With system auto cycling 4-6 times every day since the Updates hit my system in December.

    Following what I've learned on here I've tried several "solutions" to fix the installation errors including, to disable my AV which didn't help it install. Neither did any of the 3 variants of deleting/renaming the Windows update files and stopping and
    re-starting files through Admin Command Prompt (I followed them to the dot. Even cut and pasted each entry to be sure they were exactly like they were posted to other users on here.

    I've tried them all. But, now I'm starting to get concerned with how much my system is starting to run (per Task Manager)

    It seems that my system is getting hungrier and hungrier, currently I'm running 10 "Service Host" instances at this very moment (with a total of 43 services just to Service Host. (see complete list further below...) and there were 5 more running earlier
    today.

    The ones I'm most wondering about are the following 4:

    1) CONTACT DATA_1122a6

    2) SYNC HOST_1122a6

    3) USER DATA ACCESS_1122a6

    4) USER DATA STORAGE_1122a6

    I can't figure out who these belong to. There is nothing to say if they're Microsoft files and since likely not... Who do they come from and why? And, Why not put this information on them unless hiding something?

    Also, Concerning because, looking through my Boot logs this morning I see 4 entries that I can't figure out... They look something like this:

    BOOT LOAD:ED:

    BOOT LOAD:ED:

    BOOT LOAD:ED:

    BOOT LOAD:ED:

    I'm aware these UniStack Services can affect contact/people/email information, but, I need to be sure, exactly.

    I was left without security while trying to get another set of Windows Update downloaded "again"

    They do not say Microsoft (or any other Companies name) anywhere I have looked and there's nothing online that I can find.

    Have I just made things worse by trying to get the Windows to update and disabling AV/Defender?

    I had made some baby steps after disabling them and removing the update files and net stopping and re starting the specified drivers using my Admin Command Prompt (followed 3 different versions from this site & followed them to the letter)

    My system did seem to go a few percent further yesterday,.

    But, today...

    It seems the Service Host is growing with each reboot. A few days ago, I'm sure I only had half as many running.

    Now, between the current 10 instances of Service Host (43 combined total) just for Service Host, "Plus" everything else

    (Also Listed below...) My systems in continual overload and this last attempt to download & update has been in the process since this morning. Way too long.

    Does anyone know anything about these services ending in 1122a6 and does anyone know if they might be responsible for my system getting such a huge appetite and or the 4 Boot Loaded items that are invisible? Any thoughts?

    I'm at a complete loss. Have tried Everything that's been suggested on here to get this update to go through and now, I'm seemingly worse off compared to a month ago with this heavy load running now too.

    Note: the following list is what's left running after I've ended the auto loading ones that have been repeatedly disabled.

    (ie: google update( x2), HP Helper, Search and Click to Run MS Office)

    Not sure if or what I can safely end without causing damage

    SVC Host Problem

    Hi,
    Started having problems with Windows 10, every time after I shut my computer down, the SVC Host says it is shutting down programs in the background. Then when I reboot it a lot of programs will not work, so each time I use "reimage", software to repair it.
    Any ideas what I need to do, other than re install the OS
    Thanks and Regards
    Bob
